In recent years there has been an increased interest in comparative social work in the UK and EU. The process of learning and teaching in this area needs to be supported by academic debate. Utilizing hermeneutics and reflective learning, we advance a theory of learning through comparison.

Un intérêt croissant pour la comparaison entre divers milieux de travail social s'est développé au cours des dernières années au Royaume Uni et en Europe.

Utilisant l'herméneutique et l'apprentissage réflexif, nous avançons une théorie d'apprentissage par comparaison.
